- Nellie, who works in a shirtwaist factory, is the sweetheart of the chief of the Fire Department and the darling of the fire boys. A fire breaks out in the shirtwaist factory, and the firemen rush to the scene. The chief learns that his sweetheart is still in the factory and has not been saved. A homely old maid leans out of a window and calls to be rescued. The firemen are looking only for pretty girls to rescue, and so are loath to ascend to the burning building. The inspector, who is also upon the scene, asks the fireboys to assist the lady and upon their refusal decides to do it himself. He ascends the ladder and is about to take her from the building when a girl in a nearby window, with a beautiful face appears. It is none other than Nellie. The inspector at once turns his attention to the pretty girl, throwing the old woman back into the burning building. The chief has seen his sweetheart by this time and also ascends the ladder to rescue her. He succeeds to the chagrin of the inspector, but the inspector is, nevertheless, in earnest in the pursuit of the beautiful lady. He hires a couple of thugs to abduct her and makes her a prisoner in a garret. Not to be beaten, the handsome fire chief rescues her and then follows an exciting chase over the house tops, the inspector and his thugs in pursuit. The inspector recaptures the girl and compels her to enter his decrepit 1902 auto and proceeds to make way with her. Securing the aid of the assistant fire chief and the rest of the fireboys, the chief at last rescues her from the villainous clutches of the inspector.—Moving Picture World synopsis
